Scientific Cutting Tools TMLR10-1.5MMELA Thread Mill M10x1.5

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS TMLR10-1.5MMELA is a helical flute thread mill designed for cutting internal Metric Coarse M10 x 1.50 threads in a single helical pass. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN+ coating, this tool delivers hardness and heat resistance suited for high-speed milling in steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. With a 0.31-inch cutting diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a long-reach geometry, it handles thread milling in deep or obstructed bores where rigid tapping is not practical. Three right-hand flutes provide clean chip evacuation throughout the cut.

This thread mill is used in CNC machining centers for internal M10 x 1.50 thread production in both production and job-shop environments. The long-reach design is suited to workpieces where the thread entry is recessed or where clearance between the spindle and the part is limited. The 3/8-inch shank fits standard ER and milling collet systems. No coolant-through capability means external coolant or air blast is required for chip management during the operation.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.50 Metric Coarse internal thread profile in a single helical interpolation pass
• Submicron-grade solid carbide blank for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN+ coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• Long-reach thread mill type for deep or obstructed bore applications
• 3 right-hand helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• 3/8-inch shank diameter compatible with standard collet toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation, with a 3/8-inch collet or milling chuck toolholder, for cutting internal M10 x 1.50 Metric Coarse threads.

Installation Notes

Thread mills require a CNC control capable of helical interpolation; verify the program calls the correct thread pitch and climb-milling direction before running the cycle. Secure the shank fully in a balanced collet or milling chuck and confirm runout is within acceptable limits before cutting. No coolant-through is available on this tool, so apply external flood coolant or directed air blast to clear chips from the bore during threading. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate selection based on workpiece material.
